Lockers before Rope Drop?

[kla]

Does anyone know if the locker rentals are open before rope drop once people are let into the courtyard area?

I haven't needed one in awhile, but they were back in the late 90s

Depends on the methodology for rope drop that particular day. If everyone is held outside of the ticket turnstile you will not be able to get to the locker until they start letting everyone in to enjoy the park. If, however, they let people thru the turnstile and put a rope up further into the park then you will be able to get to the lockers and rejoin the group at the rope further into the park.

Ok, thanks!

At all parks except MK, the lockers are not available until after the front gates are open.

At MK, the lockers may or may not be available before the Rope Drop Ceremony.

They are located next to the "holding area" for the Rope Drop Ceremony. (See #8 on the map below.)

Ask the CM's if the lockers are available before the Rope Drop Ceremony that morning.

I have a similar question. I'm going in a week with my grandparents, and both of them will be renting ECV's. Is ECV rental available once you've entered the courtyard, or does it stay shut until official park open?

Sometimes there are CM's outside the gates "pre-booking" strollers and/or wheelchairs/ECV's.
Sometimes not.

Many on-site EVC guests book their EVC's from an outside company in Orlando
and they can keep and ride the EVC's for the duration of the trip, even outside the parks.

Needs vary.
